| Obverse description | Helmeted bust of Saint Omer facing right, rendered in a stylized Romanesque manner characteristic of early medieval Flemish coinage. The bust is depicted with a conical helmet adorned with a prominent pellet-bordered crest, and the neck rests on a decorative base. The surrounding circular legend, composed of pelleted elements and angular lettering, reads SCS AVDOMARV, identifying the patron saint of Saint-Omer. The overall design is executed in high relief with a somewhat barbarous, hand-cut quality typical of hammered deniers of this period. |
